What's worse is that you can also sit there and predict what plays we'll use!

The speed of the link between hooker and half backs is pedestrian, everyone knows Deacon won't take the line on and from 30 metres out the ball will always go right to the player running the second line, and without a strike centre with a step, a sliding defense can cope with this easily time and again. If that fails it's give it to Jefferies for a short cut back ball to a forward or a Halley run around, or a kick to Menzies. That's our entire play book.

Of course there's always the slow pass from dummy half to a standing forward on halfway to look foward to. Or a long series of slow passes across the line in the middle of the field (Leeds last week) to get everyone shouting about offside due to our lack of pace or penetration making the opposition appear offside.

We need leadership, discipline and composure to be restored, watching McNamara from the Tetley stand when Deacon got injured was an object lesson, he consulted, dithered, danced on the spot, then ran 5 metres to whistle Deacon, who waved and he then dithered again before returning to his spot looking awkward without bringing him off (seemingly his first thought). Does he look like he's in charge, no, does he convey confidence, no, is he likely to inspire confidence, no. And before I get the 20:20 vision comments, the people in front of me have binoculars, and we were interested in whether the bench would act or not.

I have very little interest watching someone who I know can't get us out of this position continue week in and week out to make the same mistakes. Unfortunately I am masochistic enough to keep turning up, others won't, as is evident.

Were you the only one to see that then cos I dont know any one else that did? Banned for rest of season Id wake up and smell the coffee. How about a spear tackle by one of our guys on a cas player you need to get a grip.

There was no spear tackles in that match.

Np spear tackle that was penalised you mean I saw it with my own 20/20 vision eyes. We can harpe on about decision all we want fact both teams were poor the bulls were just poorer.

You don't know what a spear tackle is.

A spear tackle is when a player is lifted above the horizontal and then drilled into the floor.

The unpenalised effort you are referring to on the cas player, was the first part (lifted above horizontal) but then he was let go. This is classed as a dangerous tackle, NOT a spear tackle.

It should have been a penalty. Had it been a "spear tackle", it would have been a red card. Since it wasn't, the only thing you missed out on was a penalty.

Just been thinking I can't remember Wayne Godwin coming back on in the second half again.

He started the second half and then went off to allow Terry to come back on about half way through it.

Terry came back when Cas scored the third try in the second half which was after about 10 minutes. So in reality we played the second half with only 15 players.

Who is harping? Just you I fear.
Yes both teams were poor, the defence was dire. Bulls were in fact a missed conversion poorer.

On what planet did were you standign when you watched the game, we in no wy played well, yes a few purple patches in the firts half but to say we played well FFS.

We were gash end of Cas were just a little less gash than us, season is a write off and i think maccas card will be on the table aeeing as playoffs is exteremely unlikely based on that shower yesterday

You've described our attacking game very well there! All too often it really is that predictable. Perhaps you could do a similar job describing our goal line defence which has had yawning gaps in the right side since game one?

I posted this on the 'trolling' thread, but I thought i'd post it here too. Why didn't you attack down Jordan Thompsons wing more? He's only played a few first team games. You'd have thought that Tadulala would have been able to sidestep his way around him.

There must be something wrong with the coaching if you can't pinpoint weaknesses and exploit them.

You reckon???
